But recently Christopher and I have been watching various documentaries such as Food, Inc., Fresh, and Forks over Knives. These documentaries, particularly the latter, have made me rethink the foods I buy and what I eat. I realized I can still have the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals necessary from a plant-based diet, while avoiding cholesterol and other negative results from a diet largely of meat.
After watching those documentaries, we both have committed to living a little bit healthier lives. Now we shop at the local Farmer's Market and participate in a co-op called Bountiful Baskets. We also started to preserve our food by dehydration (thanks to my mother for giving me the dehydrator) and freezing.
Also after watching those documentaries, I have been inspired to quit school and start my own greenhouse! Okay, again that is another lie. But at this moment, almost anything can motivate me to quit school. I am so burned out...
This is all the produce I received from my Bountiful Basket purchase - I paid $16.50 for all of this:
Here are some strawberries and bananas we dehydrated:
One morning we made an omelet garnished fresh tomatoes and squash with Italian Herbs and Seasoning:
Sadly I do not have the picture of Christopher's Egg Plant Lasagna he made on Saturday. It was delicious!
Maybe one day, when I am not a poor college-student anymore, I will start a greenhouse and a food blog. But until then, enjoy the inconsistent, random blog posts from me :)
